在BPSG计划中，我们的重点是自然（基因）和营养（环境）如何影响发育，大脑结构以及功能，认知，性格和心理病理学。在行为遗传研究的新方法，统计和计算方法的开发中，我们也拥有悠久的传统。BPSG计划的所有教职员工和研究生都与CU’行为遗传学研究所（IBG）密切相关，IBG是行为跨学科研究的领先中心，该中心拥有数十名来自不同专业（包括心理学）的教职员工和神经科学，综合生理学，社会学，分子，细胞和发育生物学，以及丹佛市科罗拉多大学医学中心的药学院和精神病学系。行为遗传学的多学科研究是常态，这是我们在BPSG计
In the BPSG program, our focus is on how nature (genes) and nurture (environment) affect development, brain structure, and function, cognition, personality and psychopathology. We also have a strong tradition in the development of novel methodological, statistical and computational approaches to the genetic study of behavior. All faculty and graduate students in the BPSG program are closely affiliated with CU's Institute for Behavioral Genetics (IBG), a leading center for the interdisciplinary study of behavior, which houses dozens of faculty from diverse specialities including Psychology & Neuroscience, Integrative Physiology, Sociology, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and the School of Pharmacy and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado Medical Center in Denver. Multidisciplinary research in behavioral genetics is the norm and is something we emulate within the BPSG program and at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics.
